What you get for $49 once
- One-tag install. Drop a single defer script tag with your site key and start collecting.
- Click heatmaps. Click density on a proportional page canvas, per URL, filterable by device and date range, with a most-clicked elements list.
- Scroll-depth chart. See what percentage of visitors reach each 10% fold of the page.
- Session recordings. Lightweight click/cursor/scroll event stream with a replay player: play/pause, scrubbing, 0.5-4x speed.
- Rage-click detection. Three-plus clicks in the same spot within a second auto-flags the session; filter recordings to rage sessions only.
- No renewal, ever. The license does not expire and there is no per-seat meter — $49 is the whole price.
Pricing questions
Is it really free on GitHub?
Yes — Clickmap is MIT-licensed at github.com/bensblueprints/heatmap-session-recorder-mvp. The $49 buys the packaged Windows installer and updates; building from source is free.
Does it record what my users type?
No. The tracker has no code path that reads input values, textarea content or keystrokes — only element positions and short CSS selectors. It is physically incapable of recording typed input.
Is this a subscription in disguise?
No. $49 once, no renewal, no per-session pricing. Data never leaves your server, so you stay the sole controller.
Clickmap — $49, one time
